From the very first time I met you as a baby of only a few months old, you were my Pooh Bear. You always brightened my day. When you came home from the military and you called me, my heart melted just to hear you say "Hey, Uncle Stuart". Now my heart is broken, but my love for you remains. You will forever be my own special Pooh Bear.

It's always the smallest things that come to mind when the space between you and someone dear is unbearable. For me it's her smile. Saxon's cadence was always thoughtful even in taxing scenarios. She had a smile for all occasions and somehow wore each one differently. That smile will always remain with me, within my heart. My condolences to the family. -Anonymous

I met Saxon my senior year at AHS in Mrs. Hicks class. We clicked instantly! Not only was she beautiful and smart, but the girl could have you cracking up for hours if you'd let her! I remember when I first told her I was pregnant with my son and she just went looking for outfits like he was her first too. I loved how empathetic she was and how kind she'd be to anyone. Girl you'll be truly missed. I'll be sure to keep your family in my prayers. RIP "Saxon Girl" -Imani
